Queen & Slim (Official Trailer)

The trailer for Queen & Slim has dropped and it displays a first date gone wrong which turns into a modern-day Bonnie & Clyde story.

The film stars Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith as a couple on a first date. The story takes a turn when they are pulled over for a traffic violation and the encounter turns deadly, with Slim shooting the over-zealous policeman in self-defense. The encounter is caught on video and goes viral, and the two head out on the road, becoming folk heroes as they embark on a life on the run. The film also stars Bokeem Woodbine, Chloë Sevigny, Indya Moore, and Flea.

The film is helmed by first time director Melina Matsoukas from a script by Lena Waithe and James Frey.

Queen & Slim hits screens on November 27.
